Nick Politis reveals how Sydney Roosters clinched Cooper Cronk signing

[Roosterfarian]

I think the club are priming him to take over the Football club management under Politis in years to come tbh.

why would he have invested the time to do an MBA only to take up a halves coaching role there after?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Nicks a great businessman but a shithouse footy coach.

Hope he sticks to what he knows best.

Quoting a line from the article

"We were under the cap by $600,000 in 2016 which we carried into last season, so that gave us the opportunity to sign Cooper."

I didnt know you could do that. So you play a season $600k under the cap & then the next season 600k over the cap?

Assume they may have forward paid players with the 2016$600k

I dont get that.

[The Axe]

Whatever you have over heading into season’s end, you prepay players in that season so you do not need to pay them next year.

Eg $600k underspent in season 2017 means you pay cords, friend and Pearse $200k of their 2018 salary thereby freeing up $600k in 2018 for another player

[Mickie Lane]

I cant believe that they would be $600k under the cap in 2017 to be able to pay guys for 2018.
Most supporters would find that very hard to believe.

Liam Knight, skd and carter released early would contribute

[Mickie Lane]
